two

Oh," Hu Tao bent down to pick up another piece, and then paused, realizing that Lin Xiangyu was mocking her. She raised her hand as if to throw it at him, "Oh really, you are laughing at me?"

There is a mess everywhere, what is the difference? The boy was indifferent.

Hutao secretly glanced at Lin Xiangyu beside her, who was sorrowfully twitching his eyebrows, wishing he could engrave the words "life is devoid of love" on his forehead

The difference is significant. Hu Tao stood up, brushed off the dust from her bottom, and said, "Pick up a few more pieces to use as bookmarks, Chinese, Mathematics, Foreign Language, Geography, Biology, History... what else is there?"

"I won't die." The boy weakly waved his hand.

This is indeed a "pathway," but Hu Tao swallowed hard. Why didn't the grade director include the accurate description, "On both sides are ginkgo trees, the road is covered with ginkgo leaves, and the janitor hasn't cleaned it for an entire summer?"

Lin Xiangyu deliberately held his head with his hands and said, "Wait for me a moment"

Mental health. The boy embraced himself with both arms, looking at Walnut with a smile that was neither fully a smile nor a frown.

The school is located in the northern district of the city, featuring a beautiful environment and a strong atmosphere for learning. It is a century-old institution renowned far and wide, thus attracting a large number of students who harbor beautiful aspirations for youth, among whom is Hu Tao. However, when she and Lin Xiangyu arrived at the small path behind the teaching building, as mentioned by the grade director, holding brooms in hand, she couldn't help but begin to regret her initial choice.

Are you... alright?" Hu Tao asked cautiously

By the time the two individuals finished sweeping the ground covered with ginkgo leaves, it was already past six in the evening. Fortunately, as it was late summer and early autumn, the sky was still somewhat bright.

Hutao blinked her eyes and saw the young man reach out his hand, pulling a withered yellow leaf from among her strands of hair. He smiled and waved it in front of Hutao.

No... it can't be, can it

Walnut's fighting spirit gradually diminished in front of the numerous leaves. After sweeping for a while, she became tired and stopped to rest by the roadside. While she was boredly twisting her wrist, she happened to notice a complete ginkgo leaf at her feet, with its long petiole resembling a tassel fan, which was very beautiful. She reached down to pick it up, carefully wiping the dust off it with her hand, and held it up to Lin Xiangyu: "Look, this leaf is really beautiful."

Do not.

And those long-past events can ultimately be sought nowhere.

Hu Tao knew that Hu Jin would send a driver to pick her up. Hu Jin was her stepfather, a well-known businessman in the city with a complex background. Hu Tao did not like to be ostentatious and was unwilling to let others know about her family background. Although she still wanted to talk to Lin Xiangyu, she held back and said, "No need, my father will come to pick me up shortly"

See you tomorrow

Then Lin Xiangyu jumped up on one leg, like a smooth line, reaching out to pluck a ginkgo leaf still hanging from a branch. The leaf was perfectly half yellow and half green, a beauty that only nature could create. Lin Xiangyu smiled as he handed this marvelous leaf to Hu Tao

Hu Tao tucked it into her original diary, only to rediscover it years later among the yellowed pages while tidying up her room before going abroad

Hu Tao gazed at it for a long time before gently picking it up with her hand, but the desiccated leaf, resembling an extremely thin butterfly wing, shattered into many pieces with just the slightest touch

Thank you

Lin Xiangyu picked up the backpack that had been placed under the tree by the two individuals, slung it over one shoulder, and asked Hu Tao: "Where do you live? I will take you home."

While speaking, Lin Xiangyu walked up to her. Hu Tao had not yet reacted when he said: "Don't move"

Lin Xiangyu shrugged and said, "Then I will take my leave now, see you tomorrow"
